2016 Playoffs

[Richard Cranium]

1 day into October and the kittens are 1 loss away from being eliminated from playoff possibilities in 2016. Griz need to remain focused and win 4 of the next 7 games to have our ticket punched to the 2016 Playoffs. Who would have thunk the 2016 preseason champs would be in this position so early in the season.

theres no reason we shouldnt be 6-1 in that 7 game stretch..possibly 7-0

 

[Eriul]

For conservative sake I predict we go 5-2 and enter the playoffs ranked around 10th. Playoff system has us playing ndsu second round again

10-1 gets us a top 4 seed and keeps us at home until at least the semi-finals.
9-2 gets us a top 8 seed, 1 bye week and a home game in the second round.
8-3 probably puts us at home the first week and Potentially home the second, then probably on the road to NDSU.
We need to get ourselves to at least 9-2 this year to move deeper into the playoffs.
Go Griz! One week at a time!

Screw that. The only team the Griz should struggle to beat is EWU. I know they are extremely good but I am not willing to watch the screaming beagles win again

 

[BadlandsGrizFan]

Regardless...we will have to go through Fargo in the playoffs unless were the number 2 seed.....thats just what the FCS playoff comittee does.

 

[Yukon]

NDSU is going to miss the playoffs.

Pretty sure that would be impossible.

Huh?? How do you figure?

Pretty sure every seed automatically gets a home game unless they fail to get a minimum bid in or something. So, yes, no first round team will ever play a 2nd round home game again

Correct. The only way is to be seeded

Because first round winners will travel to the seeded team that gets a bye. No way for a team that plays the first weekend to host a game the second.

The cats will be lucky to win 4 games not only this season, but next season as well. They won't smell the playoffs for a couple years.

I think we are in good shape as long as we stay at a minimum of 9-2, but I really do believe we will be 10-1. Gotta pray we don't end up in Fargo, that place is a graveyard of failed playoff dreams.

I like the post brewskis, before the season I would agree with avoiding NDSU at home. Now, I'm more confident. Stitt and crew are firming up depth chart, finding out who they can depend on to make a play. If we go 9-2 or better that's great, if not and we end up in ND for a playoff game so be it. Knocking off the Bison at home would be sweet, and this Griz team has the horses to do it.

No seed, therefore playing a seeded team in their place

So, 1st round winners will hit the road and play a seeded team, right?

Correct. Only seeded teams get the first round bye. Week one winners always travel week two
